Thanks Ben, I actually don't spend a whole lot of time on newsgroups. I don't use my gmail account and use the groups thru the web interface. If that quoting mechanism is available on the web interface and I haven't found it - I'd love to know how to use it. Also i use the threaded view on the web client, so I have little trouble figuring out what is being referenced.
My comment about John being funny in fact was a generic comment, and while the remainder of my response was on topic - it still was not in response to 1 specific statement or another. Quoting previous comments is useful, but not required to be in thread - IMHO. >> In any case, I realize I was completley wrong. Please allow me to >> retract my statement. >It's hard to see what that is, since you don't provide any >context. Are we expected to re-read the entire thread to guess what >you're referring to? Secondly, I meant I was wrong about John being hilarious - and in that context the quotes would have been useful. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
